2. Deuteronomy 3:3-6 KJV   3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining. 4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many. (were the Israelites granted special powers to walk through these high walls?) 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. Deuteronomy 3:13 KJV   13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.   Onelight.com Publishing c2010

3. An extract and photograph from the British S t r a n d magazine of December 1895, reprinted in W. G. Wood-Martin's book Traces of the Elder Faiths of Ireland, mentions a fossilised giant that had been found during mining operations in County Antrim, Ireland: Pre-eminent among the most extraor - dinary articles ever held by a railway company is the fossilised Irish giant, which is at this moment lying at the London and North-Western Railway Company's Broad-street goods depot, and a photograph of which is repro - duced here...

4. In 1876, Dyer sent this giant from Manchester to London by rail; the sum of £4 2s 6d being charged for carriage by the company, but never paid. Evidently Kershaw knew nothing of the removal of the 'show', for when he discovered it he followed in hot haste, and, through a firm of London solici - tors, moved the Court of Chancery to issue an order restraining the compa - ny from parting with the giant, until the action between Dyer and himself to determine the ownership was dis - posed of. The action was never brought to an issue. Unfortunately (as far as this writer knows), nothing more was ever heard of the Antrim giant or its owners. Source: Nexus Magazine This monstrous figure is reputed to have been dug up by a Mr. Dyer whilst prospecting for iron ore in County Antrim. The principal measurements are: entire length, 12 ft 2 in.; girth of chest, 6 ft 6 in.; and length of arms, 4 ft 6 in. There are six toes on the right foot. The gross weight is 2 tons 15 cwt.; so that it took half a dozen men and a powerful crane to place this article of lost property in position for the Strand magazine artist. Dyer, after showing the giant in Dublin, came to England with his queer find and exhibited it in Liverpool and Manchester at sixpence a head, attracting scientific men as well as gaping sightseers. Business increased and the showman induced a man named Kershaw to purchase a share in the concern. Onelight.com Publishing c2010
